A.4 Management Zone Settings

The following two eDirectory objects contain attributes that can be migrated as Management Zone settings:

  • Imaging Server policy settings

  • Workstation Launcher Configuration settings

When one of these eDirectory objects is displayed in the view on the left, each attribute that can be migrated is listed below it, so that you can select individual attributes for migration. The view on the right shows the subset of Management Zone settings that can be migrated. An attribute migrated from eDirectory overwrites the existing target setting in the zone.

Traditional ZENworks stored its launcher configuration settings directly on the User, Device, or Container object. Configuration Management stores these settings in a new policy called the ZENworks Explorer Configuration policy.

The migration tool only migrates a small subset of the previous system’s settings to a new ZENworks Explorer Configuration policy. For various reasons, most of the launcher configuration settings are not used in the new ZENworks Explorer Configuration policy in Configuration Management. Many have become global Management Zone settings where there is only one setting for the whole zone.

Launcher configuration settings for workstations are migrated to Management Zone settings, and launcher configuration settings for users are migrated to the ZENworks Explorer Configuration policy.

Because there are multiple launcher configuration settings in any given tree, it is easier for the administrator to manually set the one set of Management Zone settings in ZENworks Control Center.

The following launcher configuration settings can be migrated to the new ZENworks Explorer Configuration policy:

  • Display icon on the Desktop (becomes the root folder name)
